Is BD an all star?

Hey, BD has to be one of the best quality pgs in the nba. I voted for him as a starter on my ballot. 21 ppg and 8 dimes! bro, thats sick. He can score at will. He can get others involved and he makes everyone else better.
also, please vote for roberson on your write in ballot.

If Nash was voted a starter I could see Baron getting voted in by the coaches. That won't probably happen so they won't add two point guards off the bench and hence he won't make it. I think Kobe and Nash should start at guard and Baron be the backup pg myself.

Kobe is a lock to start, and the other one will come between AI and McGrady. Nash will be the coaches pick... which makes me believe Baron won't get in.

This is true... right? I'm pretty sure the fans do not get all the say for the whole all-star roster, but just the starting five.

you are correct, so Kobe and TMac are pretty much guaranteed 2 spots, and all the other guard talent has to battle it out for the rest. I just don't see BD being picked over Nash and AI, though it is possible he could sneak past AI - will the West coach be D'antoni or Avery? How is that decided?

I'm still thinking that Baron has a chance to get either the 11th or 12th spot because he has been incredible. Brand has not been that great at all and I can only see Boozer and Carmelo as an addition to last season's allstar team.

Nash, Kobe, TMac, Yao, Dirk, Duncan and KG are the usuals and Boozer and Carmelo look like definates as well. Amare might be chosen by the coaches because he has played very well and the Suns have won alot. Marion might be chosen for the same reason. Throw in Iverson as a definate as well (or at least going by the votes he should be) and there is one or two spots left and Baron deserves it more than almost every other player available
